Tigah, I agree with you. If they are not interested in a person that is a BBW, they should just say not interested or move on. There is not reason for anyone to be mean. It doesn't matter if you are a BBW or the skinniest person in the world, everyone has a personality, sense of humor, attitude, etc..... There is so much more to the person than the shell.

I think people should be allowed to have their preference of a partner without being called shallow, prejudice, or any other (sometimes worse) names. Can we really help what we personally like in a dating situation? I don't think so.... I can't fault anyone for their choices in this.
Just keep

well my GF (above) is BBW, and i like her just the was she is. Looks arent all that important to me anymore, i will admit i was superficial till i was about 20 or 21 but now something changed and even though physical attraction is what first attracts you to someone if were attracted to eachother, thats all that matters. And she thinks im the hottest man alive so

hate it when you tell someone you're a BBW and they ask you right out....

"Well, how much DO you weigh???"

or

"Well, how fat are you then?"

I just ignore them after that.


While I can understand your frustration, I have learned that some men ONLY like "true" BBW.. some will say only a size 20 and up is a "true" BBW. So when they ask how much you weigh and you say .. oh.. 150.. then they know you aren't a BBW and maybe they aren't interested anymore. Does that make any sense?

To avoid any akward questions, I just put my height and weight on my profile. Why not? Who cares? I mean if they don't like all 230 pounds of me they can kiss my big ass.

Im a BBW and super proud of it. Someone mentioned early its all about how you present the package and i totally agree. I take pride in how i look, I always try to look the best as possible. If you look like a scrub, and your hair is nasty and stringy then you have no room to complain about why guys dont like you. Its not about your weight its about how you dont take pride in yourself. I get more compliments then some of my skinny girlfriends, and i love it!! lol So all you BBW-friendly men, send me a message! lol

Well my theory on it all is that any woman who doesn't fall instantly in love with me is just shallow!!! So there!!!

I actually like all women but my preference is a woman who is thick =] but in all honesty I like Tall chicks, Short chicks, Chick who climb on rocks/ Fat chicks, Skinny chicks, Even chicks with chicken pox...They are all awesome. =]

I've noticed midwesterners are more accepting of "Babies with Back". I wonder if the westerners are more jaded based on Hollywood's celebrity industry and society's pressures. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, food for thought.

ANY person who makes any physical characteristic(s) their primary reason for dating (or not) can be considered shallow. Not that physical attraction is unimportant, but physical characteristics change. Those who truly want a lasting relationship will not put such emphasis on physical. I'm a BBW, and really only "now" stopped fighting the size nature intended me to be. I'm healthy and active, and I eat healthy most of the time, but I'm not going to starve myself or obsess over the numbers on the scale; all that serves to do is make me hungry and irritable. Nor am I going to worry about the men who don't like my body type; I'm focusing my search on men who do.

I've seen profiles on the BBW dating site full of comments that are JUST as shallow as those of men on other sites who make negative comments about BBW. One man actually stated he was divorcing his wife BECAUSE she'd had gastric bypass after she had a foot amputated due to diabetes. She was losing weight to save her life, not for vanity, and he no longer wants her because she's going to be too thin.... Now, if that's not shallow, I don't know what is! And I seriously doubt he gets any more "hits" than the idiot who sent me a smile--wanting a submissive woman with 50s values who realizes who wears the pants, and if she got out of line she'd be taken over his knee..... I sent him an email telling him just where he could stick that!

But the strange thing about attraction is its complexity. Just about every person on this planet has found themselves drawn to a person absolutely not his/her "type". That other person has that intangible "It" factor that makes them shine brighter than everyone around them. That radiance makes them irresistable, even if they aren't what you normally would consider "beautiful".

I had a 'Scary experience' as a child . . involving a BBW . .
Plus . . I've always found them to be Pushy and defensive about themselves . .
It's a Pity, too . .
Some 'larger' women are quite attractive . . and could even be considered ~Foxxy~
....if it weren't for their Extra Curves . . !!

Agreed . .
BBW's have a tendency to be miserable, opinionated and snooty . . to convince themselves that they are desirable .
All the excuses and attitudes are unnecessey . . just be a decent Person . . !!

Wow. For a moment I was speechless.

Just because I may not be desireable to you doesn't, by any means, mean I'm not desirable to others.

I may not know much, but I do know the one thing I never had to worry about was finding men that found me attractive. I don't think it ever had to do with the way I was built (though in a few cases that didn't hurt) but with the way I presented myself - not as a BBW but as a warm approachable person.

After the comment above I'm not sure you can even make the claim of being "a decent person."

I've been a decent person for nearly 44 years, a girl scout even for 18 of those years and it's only got me heart break. Why do people prefer people that treat them badly to good people no matter the size. The last guy that broke up with me called me 2 or more times a day and texted me at least once a day every day and we were dating for over a months. He was telling me I might be the "one " and stuff like that but 7 days after my Father died on Christmas night he calls me and breaks up says I was smuthering him. When has it become exceptable to break up with someone on the phone or in email or just stop talking when you've dated and in some cases been intimate with?

post 37
This is as opinionated and snooty as you state all BBW's are.... Not really the trademark of a "decent person"

I know many wonderful people of all sizes, if you get to know the person, most are regular people, sometimes they have defensive habits, but once they realize that you are not worried about their size, they tend to act exactly as anyone else would.

I wonder if they respond to you in the manner they do because of your prejudices towards them?

MY issue with the men that don't date BBW is, when they find out my size or how much I weigh, a guy will say "I prefer a girl who takes care of themself."

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

so just because we are heavy, it's because we are lazy and sloppy? I am active, i don't sit on my ass eating a gallon of ice cream each night for dinner. My weight is the result of a thyroid problem, and being unable to control the medication.

two of my good friends are heavy. they work their ASSES off at a farm every summer, not anywhere near lazy. they are meant to be heavier.

BBW is a term coined to make fat women feel better about themselves. Nothing more.

When men won't meet with a woman that is overweight I would say that is extremely shallow. Have a friend that won't spend the time of day with someone if they don't meet certain "guidelines".

My sister is a BBW but she is a plus size model, works out at the gym everyday and is in great health.

Firmly believe that weight can be genetic all you have to do is look at family pictures.
So we all need to give others a chance.

If you look at my pictures you will find out that I am a BBW!!

But also if you took the time to talk to me you would find some important things out.
Like I had lost 75 pounds till some individual ran a red light at 55 mph resulting in complete bedrest for a year. Now I am trying to get back to the grindstone though I won't ever be the measurements of Barbie!!!

I myself have dated BBW's and my thoughts are that as long as a woman takes care of herself,(cleanliness, Hygeine) she can be big or small, but the bottom line is that i have to find her attractive to me. But on the other hand you cant bash a man because he wont date a BBW, thats his matter of preference. Just like im sure there are certain people that most of us wont date. Wether its looks, weight, or whatever. Everyone has their preferences. Thats why there are so many choices in the world today, some people like grape jelly and some dont, but dont knock someone because they dont like grape jelly. It all boils down to whats attractive to you in your own eyes.
